My Students
As seen through their own eyes- self portraits and autobiographies come first in Art class at my new school.

I worked for 4 years at a school where I received little recognition. I am not insecure in what I do- I know I teach well. However, when you go above and beyond it's nice to get some positive reinforcement. Just to be acknowledged would have been nice, especially when I ran that third grade team for so long.
Now? I am at a school where every week a teacher is appreciated for what the administration calls "Quality Teaching". The principal and assistant principal post a blurb in the weekly newsletter to inform the rest of the staff of those making a difference. Well, kudos to me- I made this week's newsletter with this: INSPIRING DISPLAYS FOR READERLY AND WRITERLY LIFE. EXPECTATIONS ARE CLEAR AND STUDENT WORK IS VALUED.
Sums me up....nice to know I am valued at my new school. Makes waking up at 5:45am a whole hell of a lot easier.
